LandTech Extras for Elementor: 10 New Free Widgets
The free Extras for Elementor plugin on WordPress.org now includes testimonials, FAQ accordion, team members, social share, dark mode, cookie consent, ACF Free tags, and AI alt text. No license required.
LandTech Extras for Elementor is the free, GPL Elementor extras plugin on WordPress.org. If you used classic Elementor Extras / Namogo widgets, this is the maintained fork — not affiliated with Elementor Ltd.
Version 2.9.0 is the largest free release yet (2.6–2.9). This post lists every new free Elementor widget and editor tool. Premium header/footer builder, booking, and social feeds are covered separately in the Premium 3.43 roundup and the docs.
Free Elementor Lottie, Calendar Feeds & Per-Widget Scripts
🎬 Lottie Widget — Full Playback Control
The Lottie widget was re-engineered around lottie-web for programmatic control. You can now trigger animations on scroll, scroll-scrub, hover, or click — and play individual segments by frame range.
- Scroll-scrub: the animation follows the visitor’s scroll position frame-by-frame
- Segment playback: define a start and end frame to loop just the part you need
- Speed, direction, and loop controls all in Elementor
- The classic
<lottie-player>path is preserved for simple autoplay
📅 Calendar Widget — External Event Sources
Connect the Calendar widget to live data without touching a line of code.
- iCal / Google Calendar URLs — paste any .ics feed; events stay current via WP transients
- The Events Calendar — auto-detected when the free TEC plugin is active
- WooCommerce Bookings — renders booked dates directly from the WooCommerce database
- Full RFC 5545 support: recurring events (RRULE), exclusions (EXDATE), and timezone handling
🪟 Popup Widget — Advanced Triggers
More control over when your popup appears — and when it stays hidden.
- Trigger on delay, scroll percentage, or inactivity timeout
- Suppress after dismiss via cookie or session storage — no repeat-annoyed visitors
- Stacks cleanly when multiple popups are on the same page (each gets its own GLightbox instance)
⚡ Per-Widget Script Loading
The old monolithic frontend.js bundle is gone. Each widget now declares its own script dependencies via get_script_depends(). Pages that don’t use the Lottie widget don’t load the Lottie library. A tiny shared frontend-core.js (~3 KB) handles utilities only.
New Free Elementor Widgets: Progress, Countdown & Gallery
📊 Progress Bar
Animated fill-on-scroll progress bars with custom labels, colors, and percentages.
⏱ Countdown Timer
Fixed-date countdown with timezone support, using the Temporal API under the hood.
📖 Reading Progress
A sticky bar that shows readers how far through a post they are. Position, height, and color all controllable.
🔴 Hotspots — Template Content
Tooltip content types expanded to include an Elementor template and an image — not just text.
🗂 Tabs — Vertical + Mobile Accordion
Vertical tab layout, automatic mobile accordion collapse, and ?tab=slug deep linking for shareable URLs.
🖼 Gallery — Video + Smart Pagination
Add video tiles to any gallery (opens in GLightbox). Choose Load More, Infinite Scroll, or numbered pagination.
✏️ SVG — Per-Path Color & Animation
Color individual SVG paths from Elementor. Animate them with draw, fade, scale, or rotate — all respecting prefers-reduced-motion.
🔀 Image Comparison — Vertical Drag
Drag the comparison handle vertically as well as horizontally. Set the start position anywhere from 0–100%.
Free Elementor Pricing Table, Star Rating & Video Playlist
💰 Pricing Table + Pricing Toggle
Build beautiful monthly/annual pricing tables with a single toggle widget that switches all prices at once. The toggle fires a ltxe_pricing_toggle_changed custom event so JavaScript can react. When WooCommerce is active, each plan can include a direct add-to-cart button.
⭐ Star Rating
Display star ratings with half-star precision, a review count label, and optional AggregateRating JSON-LD schema so Google can show rich star snippets in search results.
🎬 Video Playlist
A click-to-play playlist widget supporting YouTube, Vimeo, and self-hosted MP4s. Each item can have its own thumbnail, title, and duration label. Built entirely with DOM APIs — no innerHTML.

Bring your own API key (OpenAI, Anthropic) under LandTech Extras → APIs. Your key, your cost, zero data sent to us.
🔍 Editor SEO Hints Panel
While you’re building in Elementor, a live panel in the editor sidebar flags common SEO issues: multiple H1 tags, images without alt text, and buttons with generic labels like “Click Here.” It updates 3 seconds after any panel change — no page reload needed.
🏷 ACF Free Dynamic Tags
You no longer need ACF Pro to use Advanced Custom Fields values in Elementor. Seven new dynamic tags for ACF Free cover text, textarea, number, email, URL, image, and true/false fields — all available in any Elementor control that supports dynamic data.
🧩 WordPress Block Patterns
A library of ready-made block patterns powered by the new widgets — a Testimonials carousel, an FAQ accordion, a Team grid, a Pricing Table, and more — available in the WordPress block inserter. Useful for non-Elementor pages and FSE themes.
